What I got. (not two turn tables and no microphone)

So I think I want this place to be full of my creative spirit. Not sure what that might be yet, but that is my desire.

Stuff on my table:
Creating a new RPG system with my good friend Jeff.
Creating a board game from the idea that I got from Oathbound, a D&D rpg setting.
Creating a new setting for the 4th ed iteration of D&D with my friend Steve. (very dungeon punk, so Steve says)
Trying to move out of my parents house.
Trying to start a band with a guy named vinnie whom I've never met....this is not going so well.
Continuing my Ptolus campaign.
Eventualy would like to start a podcast.

Thats quite a bit.

The board game is almost in its alpah stage, to where I can start play testing enternaly. I just need a map, or game board, and some game peices really.

The new RPG system, called Prententious (irony at its best) has come to a halt. I think Jeff and I have sort of different visions of where it is to go next.

The 4th ed setting is going pretty good, considering we don't have any rules yet. Though I seem to be putting out more content then my partner has. I believe this is because he has a lot on his plate as well. That or he has become un-inspired. Not quite sure which it is.

The pod cast is simply an dream right now. No hard plans at all. Simply desire.

Ptolus has been start over and needs to be kicked in the pants. Really we just need to play again. 3 weeks since last game now? Thats bad.

I'll shall have to comment on the rest later.

Game Theory Part 2

Here's some real conversation for your ass Roles What is a role in regards to role playing games? What roles do you play? Which roles transcend your character and your group? Be aware of the roles in your group. Well, a role describes the type of actions that a character would take in regards to other people in the party. But, it also describes the type of actions that a person takes in regards to a gaming group. Roles divide up the tasks that need to be completed for success. I think roles are something that you should be aware of, but you don't necessarily need to assign. I do think that if you see that someone is always the group organizer or leader, for instance, you should ask them whether or not they enjoy that post and if they would like to try something else. Its natural to lean towards one role to play in character because its a role you normally take outside of the game. What role do you tend to play? Besides game roles, there are other ways to help your group that I

Game Theory Part 1: Character Creation

OK so, where should I start here? I promised an article about game theory and I am damn sure I'm going to deliver! (rereading this article I realized this is pretty narrative and lecturey . So if your bored, I apologies) I like to dabble in game theory. And by game theory I am of course referring to how role playing games are played. I don't necessarily mean mechanics either. I guess I should start with character creation as that's where players start right? Players should create their characters with interesting and unique ideas that pertain to the setting and campaign of the game. I highly suggest, and in fact require now in my games, that players create their characters together when starting a new game. Players should be encouraged to engage in discussion about each others ideas of their characters which would allow cohesion and more immersion in the game. When creating your character's background, you should try to implement something from the setting into your cha

Steer away from these rocks

So I'm sitting here at work realizing I'm not going to be here for much longer. Like 4 days. Less than that technicly. Ok, well...I'm not sure how to feel about that. I'm sort of a mixed bag of emotions: excited, scared, contemplative, nervous, closed off, even a little ashamed. Whats that about? On to some fun stuff. I'm getting more and more excited about the release of 4th edition D&D and the consaquent start of Steven and my's new campaign. I think we have some great ideas. I must say Steve is the driving force with his ability write so well. He's like the dart board and I the dart thrower. I just throw ideas at him and see where they land. We ran our actual first game together last Wendesday. A thrown together idea of a Star Wars game, the premise of which Steve came up with and we put together in about an hour. I was more along there for the ride as he knows much more about Star Wars than I do. I like Star Wars, but Steve loves it. Th
